The advantages Of plowing under
green vegetable matter are that some USE
ful elements Of plant food arc gained IN
addition to those which have been draw
from the soil by the crop. That all these
are in most available condition and are
quickly reduced by the rapid decompo-
sition of the green matter to soluble
state. That, by the help Of the small
contributions of carbonic acid and nitro
gen which are drawn from the atmos-
phere, the addition to the soil made by
the crop plowed in provides materials for
better. crop, and a few repctitions of
the process will enable the soil to bear
clover or some other more valuable crop.

FOR The Farm AND HOME.


Most seeds Of grain, especially those
sown in the fall, are apt to be covered too
deeply. In dry time the drill wheels
sink down into the soil and this carries
the tubes with them. Grain seed is
thus deposited alta depth Of three and
sometimes four or FIVE inches. Oae and
q half inches is ample depth, and if
moist one inch is sufficient. If too dry
to grow at this depth, wait until after q
rain. The bad effect of too deep cover
ing were plainly shown bya device we
once used on drill, throwing every
other tube ahead Of its neighbor. The
result was that all the forward tubes
might have been empty. They were
piled over BY the ridges made by the
back set OF teeth, made feeble growth
in the fall, and were all killed before
spring. The crop all came from the
half Of the seed drilled in shadow.

Flowing Under Green Crops.

The subject of splowing under green
crops for the improvement of the land is
one that is worthy of careful considera-
ton. There are some points of interes
connected with it which do not seem to
be understood very well; one of these is
that no more is gained by the soil than
is taken from it, and that consequently
the advantage derived from the use Of
them is very small, il not illusory. An
other point is that it is not profitable to
grow any crop but clover for this pur-
pose and that only heavy yield Of this
is Of any benefit to the soil. Now it
should not be forgotten that the larger
part Of any green crop-as rye, buck
wheat or c,oyer--is derived wholly from
the atmosphere. and that while it con-
sists mainly of carbon, yet that carbon is
as necessary for crops as nitrogen or
mineral substances, as potash and phos-
phoric acid are. Some persons think a.
crop Of rye plowed undersis Of no value
because ryei is not specially rich in plant
food. But fit is not as rich in this re-
spect as clover is, it affords most use
ful and valuable beginning, and pavcs
the way for the growth Of better crops.
But what is the farmer to do whose land
cannot produce anything better than rye
or buckwheat2 lie must do the best he
can, and if he can get no moro than.

The Remarkable Story Of IA Toledo Girl
Who Was Hastily welded.

Abigail Stark, young, preposscssing
girl OF the Fifth Ward, is somnambulisl.
says the Toledo Blade. She has been
known 10 walk distance of two miles al
stretch without waking up. Miss STARK
was courtcd by young man from the
Third Ward, John Derby, likely fellow,
but for some reason he and the old folks
could not get along together One night
recently, while John and Abigail were re-
turning from party John proposed that
they should get married without further
delay She asked Till the following even
ing 10 consider the strange proposition
Alter he left his sweetheart he went 10
visit friend, and, returning at II later
hour met his Abigail. He asked her II
she had really determined TO marry him
that night, and she replied Yes" IN the
most endcaring terms. Late rs the hour
was they hurried TO II minister's and, with
his wife for witness, the knot was tied.
Abigail answered all questions properly,
and was apparently rs happy rs John over
the result. She had not Withdrawn her
veil during the ceremony, nor had John in
his rapturcs thought of asking her 10 do
so. They decided that she should return
To her aunts and remain there for a day
or two, when they should 90 into their
own home. The following evening he
was again by her side Ills first words
were; My wife now, in spite of every
one. She looked at him as though She
thought him crazy. Your wife" she
exclaimed; II have not accepted your
proposition yet; you presume too much,
sir" lie showed her the certificate and
then il all came back to her. She said She
had gone to her room after leaving him,
and being very tired had air down on the
bed without undressing. The circum
stances of the marriage had all come to
her as n dream, and when she arose that
morning she had not given the matter Il
second thought. But now that he had re
called the marriage she remembered all
the details, and the result was that she de-
termined to stand by her words.
